Hello guys,
I'm a software and website developer with a bit of an enthusiasm for great-graphics games. I'm looking forward on assembling a quality system. The budget is pretty limitted right now, but I look forward to expanding the system capabilities in the near future.
My question is: Gaming oriented mobos seems to have lasting and reliable components, but the same chipset mobos are available without the gaming tag for a much cheaper price. Is it ok for me to buy a non-gaming mobo and not change it for the next 6-7yrs?
My current budget means i'll have to go with an i3-4150, a 450watt corsair power supply and the rest wont b that important. I plan on upgrading in a couple of years with a powerful i5 and a good 2gb gddr5 gc.
Also pointing out I wouldn't be overclocking and I'm not too concerned about the looks or the onboard audio... I play games like skyrim, assassins creed, cod, etc in the best 'available' graphics settings...
For example: asus b85 pro gamer or gigabyte ga h97 d3h. The gigabyte is cheaper, feature packed and also supports 22nm, but asus is gamer...
